If you drive a 2025 or 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan and you’ve been waiting for a premium hitch solution, good news is on the way. The EcoHitch® Stainless Steel Trailer Hitch (part number X6097S) is now developed and will be ready to ship soon from Torklift.
Designed with Tiguan owners in mind, this EcoHitch brings together durability, capability, and a clean, integrated appearance that fits the rugged and versatile nature of the Tiguan.
What Makes the X6097S Stand Out
The EcoHitch X6097S features a patent-pending stainless steel receiver that provides unmatched corrosion resistance compared to traditional steel hitches. That means no rust and no orange streaks on your bumper, accessories, or driveway even after years of use.
Unlike many conventional hitches with low-hanging cross tubes, the X6097S sports a concealed cross tube design with a removable receiver that keeps the Tiguan’s rear appearance clean and maximizes ground clearance.
The hitch is rated for up to 5,000 pounds towing and 750 pounds tongue weight at the trailer ball, delivering robust capability for hauling trailers, cargo trays, bikes, and camping gear.
Designed for Everyday Use
In addition to strength and corrosion resistance, the EcoHitch keeps convenience in mind:
- Receiver is removable when not in use, preserving your Tiguan’s sleek look.
- Bolt-on installation uses existing factory points with no drilling required.
- Full hands-free kick sensor functionality is maintained for models equipped with the feature.
Being able to tow or mount racks without sacrificing sensor features or appearance is a significant advantage for daily drivers and adventurers alike.
Ready to Ship Soon
After a strong reception during pre-order, the X6097S EcoHitch is preparing to start shipping soon. If you’ve been planning upgrades for your Tiguan — whether for towing, cargo management, or outdoor gear setups — this hitch is close to being ready to go out the door.
